Nigerian skitmaker and actor Cute Abiola has playfully taken a jab at fellow Nollywood actor Ibrahim Yekini, popularly known as Itele, over the announcement of his new home.
Earlier on Wednesday, Itele thrilled fans by revealing that he had acquired his second house in Lagos—a luxurious multimillion-naira property located in the upscale Lekki area.
The actor’s post celebrating this milestone quickly drew congratulations from fans and colleagues alike.
However, Cute Abiola didn’t miss the opportunity to inject some humor into the conversation. In the comment section of Itele’s post, the comedian jokingly dismissed the notion that the house was a direct result of Itele’s hard work.
Instead, he teased that a woman had actually bought the house for him, noting that Itele’s YouTube movie views totaled only 150 million—a figure he implied wasn’t enough to afford such a lavish property on its own.
In a humorous comment that quickly went viral, Cute Abiola wrote: “Congratulations, no be your hard work be this sha.
“Na woman buy am for you, cause I check your YouTube, na just 150 million views I dey see for there.”
Fans have since reacted with amusement, taking to social media to share their laughter at the playful exchange between the two actors.
While it was all in good fun, the comment highlights the friendly banter and camaraderie that exists within the Nollywood community, showing that even major milestones can be met with humor and lighthearted teasing.
